Dramatic coastline, beaches, lakes and mountain scenery in the Snowdonia National Park

The north west corner of Wales is a dramatic mixture of Celtic culture and coastal spectacle, set against a backdrop of rugged mountain scenery.

Three rides explore the gently-undulating lanes of the Lleyn Peninsula, and are rarely more than a few miles from the sea. We cycle alongside the Menai Strait to the castellated town of Caernarfon, past the broad expanse of Dinas Dinlle beach, and to the 'mediterranean' seaside town of Criccieth.

Our other two rides dip into the western edge of Snowdonia, visiting Llanberis, Beddgelert and the panoramic drovers' road to Prenteg.

We stay at the wonderful Trigonos Centre in the Nantlle Valley – a fantastic setting at the foot of the mountains. The views across Trigonos's own lake to Mount Snowdon are unsurpassed. Eighteen acres of grounds include woodlands, meadows, a stream, organic gardens (source of many of our vegetables for dinner), and the best view from a bike shed anywhere in Britain! The lake itself is popular for swimming.

There are comfortable single or twin bedrooms, either en-suite or with shared facilities, plus one double-bedded en-suite room). Please state your choice when booking.

Wednesday is an optional cycle-free day: you could visit the fantasy village of Portmeirion where the cult TV series The Prisoner was filmed; go up Snowdon; cycle to a nearby beach; or laze by the clear waters of the lake. Or of course we'll have an extra ride available for you if you want to cycle every day!
